How to calculate interest

in Credit cards
Hi,
I've got a Halifax One Card, and the 0% on purchases is coming to an end soon.
I've got £550 on the card - how do I work out how much interest I would pay on it each month?
Thanks

What is the APR?
If it's 16.9% for example, a quick & dirty calculation will give you an estimate (it's not exact):
0.169 x 550 (Annual Interest) = £92.95 Interest PA
£92.95 / 12 = £7.75 interest per month.
Depends on the APR but it should be around £7 to £9 a month
Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

Fantastic!!! I was working it out and not dividing it per month, so was panicking that I would be paying £90 per month in interest!!!!!
Thank you sooooooo much for your help!!!!

Presumably you are looking at a new CC with >12m interest free on transfers? At 3% for the fee it will be much cheaper than keeping the debt on the existing card.
